Method and device for transmission/reception based on time unit group in wireless communication system

Abstract

Disclosed are a method and a device for performing transmission/reception on the basis of a time unit group in a wireless communication system. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method by which a terminal receives a downlink channel in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: receiving configuration information about a slot group; monitoring a downlink control channel in one or more search space (SS) sets on the basis of the slot group; and receiving downlink control information (DCI) in the downlink control channel, wherein one or more from among the period, the offset and the duration of the SS sets can be set on the basis of granularity M (M is an integer greater than 1) of the slot group.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A method comprising:
 coding, by a base station, downlink control information (DCI) based on a DCI format; and 
 transmitting, by the base station to a terminal, the DCI via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the PDCCH corresponding to one of at least one PDCCH candidate monitored by the terminal on an active downlink bandwidth part on a serving cell based on at least one search space (SS) set for maximum numbers of PDCCH candidates and non-overlapping control channel elements (CCEs) per a group of M slots, 
 wherein M is a number of consecutive slots, 
 wherein multiple groups of M slots are consecutive and non-overlapping, 
 wherein, based on the terminal not being provided configuration information for monitoring capability for the serving cell, a pre-defined value of M is applied for a specific subcarrier spacing (SCS) configuration, and 
 wherein, based on the terminal being provided the configuration information for monitoring capability for the serving cell, the terminal obtains an indication to monitor PDCCH on the serving cell for maximum numbers of PDCCH candidates and non-overlapping CCEs per the group of M slots based on the configuration information for monitoring capability. 
 
     
     
       2. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 for SCS configuration index 5, the pre-defined value of M is 4, and 
 for SCS configuration index 6, the pre-defined value of M is 8. 
 
     
     
       3. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 for SCS configuration index 5 or 6, a capability to monitor PDCCH related to the group of M slots is indicated by the terminal. 
 
     
     
       4. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 for SCS configuration index 5, based on a value of M being 4, the maximum number of monitored PDCCH candidates per a group of M slots is 20, and the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs in a group of M slots is 32, and 
 for SCS configuration index 6, based on a value of M being 8, the maximum number of monitored PDCCH candidates per a group of M slots is 20, and the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs in a group of M slots is 32. 
 
     
     
       5. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 at least one of a period, offset, or duration of the at least one SS set is based on a value of M. 
 
     
     
       6. The method according to  claim 5 , wherein:
 at least one of the period or the offset of the at least one SS set corresponds to an integer multiple of M slots, 
 the duration of the at least one SS set corresponds to be equal to or less than the period that is the integer multiple of M slots. 
 
     
     
       7. The method according to  claim 5 , wherein:
 the at least one SS set is determined, based on an order of SS set index, based on a number of counted PDCCH candidates not exceeding a maximum number of monitored PDCCH candidates per a group of M slots, and based on a counted number of non-overlapping CCEs not exceeding a maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs in a group of M slots. 
 
     
     
       8. The method according to  claim 5 , wherein:
 based on SS set group switching being triggered for the terminal, monitoring of switched SS set group is started at a beginning of a first slot of group of M slots that is a predetermined time length after a time point of triggering. 
 
     
     
       9. A processing unit of a device in a wireless communication system, the processing unit comprising:
 at least one processor; and 
 at least one computer memory which is operably connected to the at least one processor and stores instructions for performing a method according to  claim 1  based on being executed by the at least one processor.
